I haven't read the EULA in details, but I am guessing private repos
are also "indexed" by their search engine and "selected employees" can
have a look or hook on certain private repos.
Or AI engines.

Not sure that was different pre-MS and/or for paid accounts.

So, if you store code hacking the gov in a private Github repo, expect
a knock on the door.
(same for Dropbox, Drive and so on)
